Carbon County Almost Bankrupted BY
Industrious Hunters.

"Yes, the hunters nearly bankrupted
the county," said a gentleman from Raw
Inns to a LEADER reporter when speaking
of the squirrel bounty law last evening.
There was naturally a large number of
Gophers and prairie dogs in Carbon county
but when the commissioners began
spending 81, 900 per month for scalps the
tax payers began to roar and declare that
fraud was being practiced, and it did look
a little that way. Finally the commits
sioners refused to allow any more bills for
~bounties, and it was her discovered that
scalps had been imported from Nevada,
Utah and Montana. The hunters have
been afraid to appeal from the action of
the county board, for the reason that they
could be convicted of perjury for making
afidavits by the wholesale to the effect
that the animals had been captured in
Carbon county. l have no doubt but
what some of these enterprising profess
sional hunters will begin to breed gophers
so soon as the supply runs short"

A Cheyenne Tale of Woe That Comes by
Way of Laramie.

Laramie Boomerang.l
a gentleman who came over the hill
last night says that the small blaze to
which a four line reference was made in
yesterday mornings Cheyenne papers as
having occurred the night before, was in
reality the most dastardly attempt ever
made to destroy a portion of the Magic
City.
He says the fire occurred in a vacant
building on Eleventh and Warner streets,
belonging to Del Prato, the steward of the
Cheyenne club, and had been occupied as
a saloon by one Job, who vacated it a
short time ago. 1t was vacant when the
inciDIent blaze was started in it, and ex-
tinguished before it could do the harm
that was designed.
The building was situated on the
south side," corresponding to Laramie's
west sl3e" and the relator says that he
investigated the matter and found that a
couple of gallons of coal oil had been
thrown through the open window into one
of the rooms and upon some highly in
fammable material, which did not burn
as was expected simply because it had
been so soaked with the cold rain that it
would not take fire even when saturated
with kerosene. The gentleman who made
the investigation says that had the incen-
diary accomplished his object by getting
this building well ablaze the whole south
side would have been reduced to ashes, as
a heavy wind was blowing at the time and
in exactly the right direction to do the
most harm. No suspicion is entertained
as to who could have attempted such a
crime, and this will probably be the first
inuimation to Cheyenne people that such
a one was attempted. Nevertheless the
authority is good.

OUR SCHOOLS.
A Resume of the Business Transacted
BY the Directors Meeting.

Luke Voorhees,, S. j. Quinby, A. C.
Snyder and j. G. Baird were present at n
meeting of the school board, held at
Bard & Campbelrs Office last evening.
Inc bills for the necessary and regular
expenses were allowed and money was an
proprlated for the payment of the pur-
chase price of apparatus for the labora-
tory.
The application of Messrs. Wilson and
Wllkerson for the establishment of a
school at the ranch OF the former gentle
man. was granted. A teacher will be
selected at the next meeting of the
board.
A resolution was adopted and ordered
spread upon the minutes of the meeting
expressing regret over the sudden and
untlmely death OF the late Mrs. Pierce,
who was mentioned as an estimable and
accomplished Christian, whose womanly
traits won for her the love and esteem of
her friends, scholars and acquaintance.
1t was resolved by the board to defer
the opening Of school for the fall term
one week, on account of the occurrence of
the Wyoming fair, with the proviso that
the summer vacation begin one week
later mex June. This action is taken for
the reason that it is almost impossible to
secure a respectable attendance at the
public schools during the continuance of
the fair. 1t is believed that better and
more satisfactory results can be attained
by the plan adopted by the board.
The proper committee was instructed
to Thoroughly investigate the LOOMS sys-
TEN of musical instruction, and report
the result of their researches at the next
meeting of the board.
A committee of three was appointed
with instructions to learn the cost, etc, of
securing a piano for the exclusive use of
the Cheyenne public schools. The board
has heretofore rented an instrument, but
it is believed it would be an ecomical pro.
cedure to purchase one outright.
